After our pushy lab puppy, Bailey, was turned away by other groomers for a nail trim, we reached out to Chelsea for help. Chelsea knows her business! She trained us one-on-one to trim Bailey’s nails. She was patient but firm to reverse the bad behavior Bailey had picked up. She explained the correct technique for trimming and using the nail grinder, and coached us through doing it ourselves. Now we’re able to stay on top of Bailey’s nails regularly, on our own. Working with Chelsea – highly recommended!

The staff and owners have been very good to me and I really respect and appreciate them all!
